Random Musings

Perhaps he can thank _____ for the boost in popularity ...

Colin Kaepernick, the former 49er’s quarterback who started the Take A Knee movement over police brutality against black Americans, has signed a book deal with Random House worth just over $1 million.

Too bad most _____ supporters can’t, or won’t, read, because then they might learn the truth of why Kaepernick took a knee in the first place.

Hint: it has nothing to do with troops, anthems or flags.
Do you think it’s because they’re gay?

The Washington Blade, the oldest LGBT newspaper in the country, find themselves getting shut out of questions at White House press briefings. Chris Johnson, the Blade’s White correspondent says:
“Many times during the briefings, I see Sanders look directly at me as I raise my hand for a question, but she nonetheless skips me for another reporter, usually from a conservative, Trump-friendly outlet like Breitbart or Newsmax.”
Oh, go figure a Huckabee doesn’t wanna talk to The Gays; go figure that a _____ White House prefers a Breitbart question over The Gays.

Go figure ...
Okay, so now that all the bodies are buried in Las Vegas, the National Rifle Association [NRA] is back, along with spokes-tool, Dana Loesch, to try and get more guns sold and more weapons on the street because, well, coins ... Dana, in a new ad for the NRA says:
"We are witnesses to the most ruthless attack on a president, and the people who voted for him, and the free system that allowed it to happen in American history ... their hateful defiance of his legitimacy is an insult to each of us."
Clearly, Dana Loesch and the NRA must have been out of the country during the eight years of Obama if they think calling this buffoon in the White House a buffoon is ruthless. But Loesch drones on:
"But the ultimate insult is that they think we’re so stupid that we’ll let them get away with it. These saboteurs, slashing away with their leaks and sneers, their phony accusations and gagging sanctimony, drive their daggers through the heart of our future, poisoning our belief that honest custody of our institutions will ever again be possible."
Huh; phony accusations like how a man was allowed to purchase thirty-plus weapons in the course of one year without being noticed; a man who was allowed to turn his weapons into rapid fire machine guns, you know, the better to kill innocent people at a concert.

This is the NRA standing on the bodies of dead Americans, children and adults, not because they want to protect the Second Amendment, which is in no danger of being repealed, but because they want to make more money off selling guns.

They should also see about getting a piece of the casket industry because they have a goal there, too.

Fuck off.
Mark Wahlberg has come out ... not, not like that ... and said that he prays God can forgive him for Boogie Nights:
“I just always hope that God is a movie fan and also forgiving, because I’ve made some poor choices in my past.”
Honey, I’d be less concerned about Boogie Nights and pray more that your God will forgive you for Daddy’s Home and Daddy’s Home 2.
Oh, and since we’re speaking of guns and how enraged we were after the shooting in Las Vegas, here’s a new number for you ....

In the three weeks since the massacre in Las Vegas, the worst mass shooting in modern American history, at least 2,545 people have been shot across America, 772 of them fatally.

But let’s talk about something else ... like how there have been more than 50,000 gun violence incidents in America so far in 2017.
Last week, Louisiana’s Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator blasted the state’s Justice Reinvestment Package—bills that would reduce Louisiana’s prison population by 10 percent and save more than $260 million over the next decade by slowly releasing nonviolent offenders—because he wants to keep the “good” prisoners so they can do manual labor:
“In addition to the bad ones ... they’re releasing some good ones that we use every day to wash cars, to change oil in the cars, to cook in the kitchen, to do all that where we save money. Well, they’re going to let them out ― the ones that we use in work release programs.”
Yes, he suggests keeping the good prisoners so they can cook and clean and toil the fields for free while being locked up at night.

Huh; slavery say what?
This is rich ... according to a poll by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, a significant majority of white Americans ... WHITE AMERICANS ... feel they are the targets of discrimination.

Yup, 55% of white people surveyed believe discrimination against white people is an ongoing problem.

I got a question for you asshats, you WHITE asshats, who are feeling all discriminated against and shiz ... care to trade places with a black American, Muslim American, female American, gay American, Mexican American?

Don’t answer, that’s a rhetorical question. Now sit down until you can think of something intelligent to add.

God, this is why I hate white people.
Last January, right after Fox News booted Roger Ailes to the curb amid a sexual harassment scandal, the network’s top-rated host ... at that time ... Bill O’Reilly, struck a $32 million agreement with a longtime network analyst to settle new sexual harassment allegation.

Although the deal has not been previously made public, the Fox News’ parent company, 21st Century Fox, was aware of the victim’s complaints against O’Reilly, which included allegations of repeated harassment, a nonconsensual sexual relationship and the sending of gay pornography and other sexually explicit material to her.

This $32 million payout was at least the sixth agreement made by either O’Reilly or Fox News to settle harassment allegations.

And, even after that huge settlement against him, the very next month 21st Century Fox began contract negotiations with O’Reilly, and granted him a four-year extension that paid $25 million a year.

The easier to pay off your lawsuits, I guess.
In other O’Reilly news, the other day the sexual predator sent out this Tweet:
“Sean Hannity kicking serious butt in the ratings. Tapper on CNN as low as you can go.”:
And Tapper, who suffers no fools, especially the sexual predator type, Tweeted back:
“‘Low’ would be sexually harassing staffers and then getting fired for it—humiliated in front of the world. Now THAT would be low.”
Score Tapper!
Some Hot Mens from the TV ... Up top is Terrell Carter, who plays a gay attorney on Empire with a body that can stop time! Oh, and he can saaaang!

On the Bottom left, we have a returning Hottie in Alfonso Herrera, who plays hot Latino priest on The Exorcist. In the Middle is the totally adorable, but sadly straight, Brandon Kee, from this season of Project Runway; and on the Right is one Jason Ritter, who was called quirky cute in this week’s episode of Kevin Probably Saves The World. And quirky cute is a good kind of cute.

Just sayin’.

  4. As per NRA and guns, didn't that policeman who raped his girlfriend have an arsenal of 60+ weapons? And that was apart from his official weapon(s). No-one, not even a soldier, needs that many weapons all for one person - although my ideal is ZERO weapons per person.

  5. Trump and Sanders will only ever put out stories and interviews and questions that will suit them and not tarnish his image. Shame there way to late.

  6. Of course Sarah only calls on Trump ass kissers, and Walberg? He's been in so many duds over the past couple years, I'm sure he is hopping God's a movie fan.
